Living
Consolation
Translated by Ivan Panin (1888) · From Poems (Panin, 1888)
Living
Life,--does it disappoint thee?
Grieve not, nor be angry thou!
In days of sorrow gentle be:
Come shall, believe, the joyful day.
In the future lives the heart:
Is the present sad indeed?
'T is but a moment, all will pass;
Once in the past, it shall be dear.
